Qi Zixiao did not know whether they succeeded in the end, but all she needed was to create an opportunity—she could afford to owe them one.
Even as she headed towards Cyan Hill Peak, Qi Zixiao made up her mind.
"When I return this time, I could train up in foresight and divination, since it would be more convenient than relying on luck and avoiding threats."
At first, she intended to start with Fluid Body, and search for the wanted criminal when she possessed some extent of combat ability. If she did find them and earn five thousand bucks, wouldn't it be a lot quicker than doing mundane work?
But now, that would not do.
Her phone was broken and she could not contact Wu Guodong who was in the list of contacts, and it would be meaningless even if she found that wanted criminal.
That was why she would have to wait for their next transmigration.
And since she was loafing around anyway, why not go home and catch some drama? What if she could gain some inspiration and come up with some outstanding technique?
Even as those thoughts crossed her mind, Cyan Hill Town slowly appeared within sight.
Qi Zixiao nodded composedly at the sight of the familiar streets.
"I'm back. Well, that wasn't too difficult…"
***
Back home, Qi Zixiao got some clothes from the closet and was ready to bathe.
Ever since she was a child, she had always kept herself clean and tidy. Today, however, she first leaped into a lake, and then out of a car…
Naturally, she would have to scrub herself clean.
Still, she was taken aback once she entered the bathroom.
Bathe?
Well…
Using that fellow's body to bathe….
She flushed to the base of her neck unwittingly.
Recently, she had gotten used to the usual stuff and did not feel that awkward peeing, but when it came to bathing…
Not to mention that tall mirror in the bathroom?!
So…
Am I supposed to bathe or not?
Bathe? It would be embarrassing…
Not bathing? She would feel utterly unsettled.
"Sigh…"
After a long time, Qi Zixiao muttered to herself. "I'll bathe!"
"That fellow bathed in my body before. So what if I bathe with his?"
"I'm the one losing out if I didn't bathe."
I, Qi Zixiao, Saintess of the Violet Manor could afford to owe a favor, but never would I lose out!
***
After taking a shower and feeling revitalized, Qi Zixiao also felt very interested in bathtubs and showers.
Would there be such things in the world of cultivation? Cultivators did not need to shower because their bodies could be cleaned with various spells and innate qi arts.
Even if she did bathe, she would only have a soak in the bathing bucket.
Naturally, bathing here felt good. Not only would she lie down directly in the bathtub, the feeling was also completely different.
Moreover, showering was quite convenient too.
In fact, Qi Zixiao also made new discoveries, gaining a more complete understanding of male anatomy as well as their reactions…
For example…
…
It was as if Qi Zixiao had discovered a whole new world, leaving her shocked and awe… as well as rather bewildered.
Even as that thought crossed her mind, she suddenly remembered that Lin Fan was using her body to bathe…
Was he studying her body at the time too?
Damn it!
Qi Zixiao was gritting her teeth at that very thought.
"No way! I can't lose out like that!"
"…"
***
Time flew.
Once three days passed, Lin Fan and Qi Zixiao transmigrated punctually, returning to their respective bodies.
The TV was still on.
Lin Fan clicked his tongue in surprise. "I couldn't have turned the tigress into a shut-in, did I? The type who loafs around on the couch, drinking sodas while watching TV?"
He looked up at the tea table to find that the notes and mobile phone he left were still there.
"I told her the password but she still needs the paper… so, like I guessed, learning how to use a phone is too difficult for an ancient person?"
"Wait… why do I feel like something isn't right?"
In the split second that he had transmigrated back, Lin Fan did not notice it. Even so, he felt weirder as time passed…
Why did it feel like he was missing something?
What the heck!!!
His heart was pounding, and he was rather afraid to look…
That Tigress…
Then…
"What am I missing?"
"It feels like…"
"What the heck?! Where's my inner strength?!"
"Where's the big chunk of inner strength I trained with so much difficulty!?"
He finally knew what he was missing!
After all, he only had a few days' worth of experience in possessing inner strength and was not all that familiar, which was why he did not realize it immediately.
But now, he was utterly confident that he had lost all inner strength!
Could it be that Qi Zixiao did not know her martial arts and had a mishap while in control of his body, and the inner strength disappeared at once?
If that was the case, did Lin Fan have to train alongside her?
In that very moment, many thoughts crossed Lin Fan's mind.
For example, Qi Zixiao did not learn restraint and therefore lost the inner strength, as well as the possibility of a 'joint account' gameplay.
"Well, whatever. Let's see what she has to say first."
On the paper was the single line:
[The stuff inside your body is too weak. I've dispelled it for you. No thanks necessary.]
Lin Fan: "(⊙o⊙)…???"
What the hell?!
Lin Fan was at once confused and furious.
'Was it that easy for me to cultivate that bit of inner strength? And then there's you, belittling me for being too weak and crippling me directly?!
'Then what isn't weak? Immortal Cultivation?
'I would have cultivated that if I could!!!'
Bang!
Lin Fan slammed his hand on the table in rage, and then…
Boom!
There was a loud echo and the tea table shattered instantly.
Lin Fan: "Σ(⊙▽⊙"a!???"
"What… what the heck?"
He was confused.
"Wasn't my inner strength crippled? And I couldn't have done that even with the inner strength I had before, could I?"
He had tested himself three days ago. Though he was much stronger than when he did not cultivate, he was still 'human'.
Now however, a solid wooden tea table shattered with a crunch even though he was not really using much strength?
He lifted his hand, clenching it despite his bewilderment.
Crack…
He could feel astounding strength!
That was not all. He had also noticed that his skin was fairer than before.
He touched it, and could feel that it was much more tender too.
"What… what happened to me?"
Could she really have used my body for immortal cultivation?!
That thought crossed Lin Fan's mind as if it was natural, but he soon perished the thought.
"My body should have Innate Qi if she really cultivated. But I feel nothing, and having no Spirit Qi meant I don't meet the conditions for immortal cultivation…"
"But what is actually going on?"
Thud-thud-thud…
That was when someone knocked on his door.
"Who is it?" Lin Fan quickly asked.
"It's me, your landlady."
Zhou Na the landlady's voice could be heard outside the door, and the corner of Lin Fan's mouth twitched…
"Open the door now. I heard something just now…"
"Uh…"
He's really done it now—the sound of him slapping the tea table into pieces could be heard. What would Zhou Na say when she saw it?
Lin Fan chuckled bitterly.
